theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VII - Ep. 15

This probably has the slimmest connection to this week's podcast, but I totally saw the last bit of the Prince of Tennis Musical. Soooooo so funny with sooooo much okama-esque innuendo... but that's a derogatory term, so I shouldn't use that. Anyway, podcast. Also, Batou may be dead. Just sayin'.

Music - Friends by Aiko Nakano from Dance In The Vampire Bund

Caption Battle: Great Thing About These Practice Katanas...

"It's that time again..."
"To see what lame-assed sense of humour SomeGuy chooses to use this time?"
"To rush through homework so we can get back to playing MAG?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, for being more original than not: cougarsama!

He thought the tie would make him look more impressive. He was wrong.

In second place, also being original but with a stronger punch line: DemonKingAtticus!

Prognosis? Multiple Personality Disorder.
Problem? None of them can tie shoes.

And in the coveted first place, being original as well as being the snappiest of this week's captions... SaigasEye!

I thought Lady Gaga was a blonde.

Fun. Also, it'll be February this week. Funny how time flies...

This week's screencap comes courtesy of amandaxthomas and features one of those shows Rumiko Takahashi is famous for stretching out for a couple decades. Guy with the ears on the right is Richard Ian Cox; guy on the left may or may not be John "Soap" MacTavish. Have at it:

theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VII - Ep. 14

Bear McCreary is the freaking man. Also, my money's on Star Wars. Finally, FOUR COMMENTS?! Let's fix that this week, or else the Communists win. Or something. Also, when they get to Twilight stuff, sensitive folks really need to consider that disclaimer below. Just sayin'...

Caption Battle: Prelude To Hilarity...

Yo. I'm super sleepy. Let's just get to it...

Last weeks winners:

In third place: Mercury Dragon!

As the drugs began to take effect, Maka became painfully aware of what it meant to be "tripping balls".

In second place: Nehszriah!

...and here I thought the Bible said that Eve was created from Adam's rib instead of the other way around.

And in the coveted first place... Moirwinvail!

For just under sixty cents a day, you can give one child the things they need to learn and grow. Call now, and you can change one child's life.

This was a good week save for the noticeably high number of repeat captions - reading the comments of others is never a bad idea, folks. Remember that.

This week we're gonna go with another screencap from the ever-helpful Lord of the Moe Desbreko - the man keeps me well supplied, what can I say? The series featured is Umi Monogatari; fellow with the face is named Kojima. That is all:
